Being Black vs. Being a Nigga

There is a couple of points I want to hear some opinions on in this discussion. The most obvious being, what is the difference between being black and being a nigga? Which is more socially acceptable in the African American community? Is this the true war that is going on in society that hinders us as a whole?

As you grow up you are taught to hold certain opinions to yourself, I don't feel this is one of them. This subject though seems to confuse the **** out of people, especially when it comes to relating to one another.

Re: Being Black vs. Being a Nigga

Just in general, when describing either one you tend to get into totally different lifestyles, which seem to be what's confusing when it comes to the african american culture as a whole. Both blacks and niggas are within the A-A culture. There is no more bombings and lynchings going on as if we were in the times of the civil rights movement.

One extra thought I had a while back that I figured to share now, our generation seemed to have suffered from the industrial movement of our elders. All of the jobs that pertained to improving technology to better the lives of all individuals has almost completely backfired. Computers and machines now occupy most of those same jobs. Our generation was built on values based around physical labor, and everything has now turned intellictual, but our values doesn't support everyone focusing on helping the education process. Who is to blame? I figured it's our own fault. One reason behind my conclusion, we allow ourselves to be taken out of our family's lives due to a neccessity to make money.

Re: Being Black vs. Being a Nigga

Being Black is being unfortunate...most likely witness to the struggle. And more than likely a underachiever.

Being a nigga or how i like to say it ****** is a lifestyle. A coolness among colored folks. A mockery to the white corporate America boss. A kool slang/ alternate way of addressing and calling one another.
